Darkness through Gaza

Israeli forces have reportedly ordered doctors, patients, and displaced individuals at Gaza's al-Shifa Hospital to evacuate the medical compound. According to medical sources within the facility, they were given only one hour to leave and some were even forced to do so at gunpoint. However, the Israeli army has denied these claims in a post on X, stating that they had simply acceded to the hospital director's request to allow additional Gazans to evacuate through a secure route. Mohammed Zaqout, the director-general of hospitals in Gaza, has strongly refuted the Israeli army's denial, stating that they were indeed forced to leave at gunpoint.
